2013 Audi R8 4.2L Petrol · R8 KRX

The 2013 Audi R8 currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 22 May 2026 at 78,740 miles, confirming it meets minimum UK roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend shows a stable but slightly deteriorating suspension condition. Testers noted light oil misting on both the offside front and nearside rear shock absorbers during this latest inspection. This exact advisory appeared previously on 14 May 2025 at 77,800 miles, indicating the damper seals are slowly weeping but have not yet degraded to the point of failure. Covering 78,740 miles over thirteen years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 6,057 miles. The vehicle saw minimal use between April 2023 and May 2024, accumulating just 830 miles in over a year. This low annual mileage suggests the car spent significant time off the road or served as a weekend vehicle. Regular annual testing resumed in May 2024, May 2025, and May 2026, showing consistent yearly mileage increments of around 800 to 940 miles. A prospective buyer must closely examine the rear braking system and exhaust management. The tester flagged worn rear brake discs as an advisory across four consecutive tests from 18 April 2023 to 9 May 2024. Leaving worn discs unaddressed for over a year suggests previous owners deferred non-mandatory maintenance. The April 2023 test also recorded a failure for an exhaust lambda reading outside specified limits, alongside a split nearside rear tyre and an offside rear tyre with exposed cords. Running tyres to the point of structural failure points to a period of neglected basic upkeep. You should verify the current physical thickness of the rear brake discs and check the exhaust system for lingering emissions faults or recently replaced catalytic components.
